Do NOT get all infatuated with pastes and sprays,they can be a great addition to your regimen BUT.
I would never use crox on a blade that needs to see at least a finishing stone first.
When I have an edge that is less than perfect it gets 5 strokes on a shapton 12 K.I can shave easy off that edge,but it is a tad to crisp so it sees 10 on leather with Crox,for me it mellows the edge.
I can keep a blade going for yrs with the above,the bevel is always set,seeing a finish stone refines it.
